Author, current Grange Historian, Howard Blue, and Copake auctioneer Mike Fallon will present a PowerPoint program on two nearly forgotten aspects of Copake’s history: ice harvesting and semi-pro baseball. Blue has previously presented multiple programs on the town's history at the Roe Jan Library and the Roe Jan Historical Society.

Blue's latest program will feature recently discovered, rare home movie footage of Copake in the 1930s. It will also include more images from Blue's collection of over 3000 digitized photos of Copake. Ice harvesting was once an annual endeavor on the Hudson River, small local ponds, Copake Lake, Robinson Pond & Rhoda Pond. At one time a commercial ice harvesting operation existed at Copake Lake. Semipro baseball was played on Copake Falls Holsappel Field. Attendees will also hear about 90-year-old Joe Michaluk’s, recollections of harvesting ice & storing it in his family farm’s icehouse. All of this recalls a time gone by.

Chris Chafe gives a talk and workshop. “Sonification” is turning raw data into sounds and sonic streams to discover new relationships within the data set by using a musical ear. This is similar to data visualization, a strategy that reveals new insights from data when it is made for the eye to perceive as graphs or animations. A key advantage with sonification is sound’s ability to present trends and details simultaneously at multiple time scales, allowing us to absorb and integrate this info the same way we listen to music. This evening will include two events, a talk and a hands-on workshop. The talk will present an in-depth look into the potential and application of sonification. The workshop will offer participants an opportunity to work with their own data sets and explore sonification as a new approach to their data. Chris Chafe is the director of Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) and approaches the practice of sonification from a background in computer-generated musical composition, using algorithms in the sculpting of musical detail. In much the same way, sonification uses datasets to generate sounds that can lead to a different or deeper understanding of patterns and processes in the sonified data. From global economic trends, atmospheric CO2 changes, or seemingly mundane events such as the ripening of fruit, sonification provides a means of gaining new perspectives on data through listening.

The public is encouraged to attend this public meeting. Anyone recording audio of the meeting is urged to send it to info@wgxc.org, where we can post it for all to share. WGXC suggests calling ahead to confirm time and location.
